“I can’t believe the operation can be live broadcast like this! The doctor's movements are smooth, and there is no delay in the explanation!” At the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen, Chinese and foreign guests watched the live broadcast of an interventional operation going on in Hangzhou in front of a large screen. This was a scene at the Innovation and Development Conference of Smart Hospitals, with the theme of “Smarternet Sharing, Smart-health in the Future”. At the conference, the organizer of the event, Zhejiang Hospital, showed some “new weapons” of the Internet era of hospitals. Hong Chaoyang, president of Zhejiang Hospital, took the live broadcast of this operation as an example to show the latest 5G live broadcast technology.

After the signal was connected, two pictures appeared on the large screen on site. One was Wan Shu, director of the Department of Brain in the Hybrid Operation Room of Sandunyuan Branch of Zhejiang Hospital, demonstrating how to perform a surgery; the other was the live broadcast of the surgery at the Wuzhen Internet Conference. This allowed the operating room, the site of Wuzhen’s World Internet Conference and the conference room to communicate in a real-time manner. Yan Jing, CPC Committee Secretary of Zhejiang Hospital, said that Zhejiang Hospital, which celebrated its 65th anniversary this year, had been committed to building a smart hospital, and various cutting-edge technologies have brought about changes in the service management model and medical treatment technology, which have enhanced the sense of gain and satisfaction of patients in medical treatment.

In Sandunyuan Branch, the “Smart Pharmacy” has two automatic medicine dispensing systems with the largest amount of medicine in the province, which can basically ensure that the medicines arrive at the pharmacist ahead of patients, achieving the goal of “medicine comes first, instead of patients.” In the rehabilitation treatment center, all rehabilitation equipment has been basically connected to internet here, which can display the records of patient information, rehabilitation therapist evaluation and treatment in each information system to realize the big data management of rehabilitation.

To empower wisdom and to use cutting-edge technologies can not only improve the efficiency of patient visits, but can also improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment. At this conference, iLCC, Integrated Lung Cancer Center of Zhejiang Province was officially established. The Center introduced AI intelligent diagnosis into the diagnosis and treatment of chest tumors, and carried out “artificial intelligence + medical imaging” to help improve the special technology of early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancers, improve the detection rate of early lung cancers and build a precise diagnosis and treatment system of lung cancers.
